Quora Forum asks: "When do I change the timing belt/chain on 1976 Land Cruiser?" (1 Viewer)

[Stevepipeman]

A member of this worldwide forum (Quora) poses the above question stating that a dashboard warning light is illuminated, "Service Timing Belt". What land Cruisers, built in 1976, had belt driven cams and what vehicle has a maintenance light for a timing belt or chain, particularly in 1976? Is this a bogus question or were there various engines used internationally that legitimizes this question? I answered the question saying the 2F engine cam was gear driven.

I used a similar picture when I referenced the 2F engine and its lack of either a belt or chain when I answered the question. The dash warning light for Timing belt change was pretty ridiculous, in my book.
thanks for the input.

Was it for one of the diesels? Not too familiar with those...but obviously not a 2F thing.

No LandCruiser diesel engine used a timing belt until the 1985 LJ70 Bundeera, HD LC models didn't get belt driven cams until 1990 with the introduction of the 1HZ and 1HD-T in the 70 and 80 Series. Gas engines didn't get a timing belt until the 2UZ-FE in the 100 Series.
